Good point on the grain of the plywood Ralph! The reason the treated plywood can warp is because it's pine. I used 3/4" fir plywood for decking on my last boat (18' Starcraft) and ended up with a boat that was heavy, it rode nice in rough water, but took away from the top end speed due to the extra weight. If you build a good crossed braced frame from alum angle or wood and cover with painted 5 ply fir plywood it should be plenty strong and hold up well.
